My first day I've spent 75p on three packets of seeds. Parsley, basil and spinach. Investing in the future and saving at the same time

Aldi don't do online, but tesco also do the 36p loaf
Think asda were the ones mainly criticised by Jack Monroe for scrapping their smart price lines.

Eventhough I've got an allotment I'm counting whatever I buy for it like seeds and fertiliser in with the £1 a day..
I did that 30 years ago.
25kg sack of potatoes for £2.50 lasted a month.
10p loaf of bread at KwikSave and a couple 10p tins of beans each week.
1 block of butter and an occasional block of cheese.
Planted some carrots, cucumber, tomatoes, lettuce in the garden.
I lived on maybe maybe £2/week in food back then.
It was a monotonous diet, but I did it for 5 months and survived. It just takes a bit of willpower.
These days, I'd still go for potatoes, but pasta and rice are good alternatives.
You can still get rice for 45p/kg even in Sainsbury's. In bulk, it must be cheaper elsewhere.
